There's a slight variation in texture and finish with these two colors. 08 Soft Red Rose has the usual translucency and applies with a nice sheen. 29 Pure Red is much creamier, only semi-translucent, and applies more satiny. Interesting, hmm? Released as part of the fall 2014 collection, I'm guessing 29 Pure Red must have been the start of the transition towards the creamy, semi-opaque satin finish that became the releases of the fall 2016 collection.

- 29 Pure Red: appears very brown in the tube but swatches warmer and redder on the back of my hand and applies even more red on my lips. Despite the semi-translucent satiny finish, I still love the color.
